How do you set the file download prompt that explorer asks you to the “saveâ€
option so that you can just push the Enter key to start the save? (I want to
keep the prompt so I can then browse for the correct file to download to);
Instead of having to click Save every time (it looks to be set on Cancel
now). I like to download alot of themes, fonts, etc. and this can save a
step... I beleive Windows 2000 is set like that.
I have Windows XP svc pack 2 if that makes a difference.
Thanks to anyone who can help
 
I don't think there's a way to do what you want. The download dialog box's
default is set to "cancel" for security reasons - to prevent unintended
downloads by an inadvertent "enter" keystroke - forcing you to click (or
tab/arrow to) "save" or "open". I don't remember when this change was made,
exactly, but that's the way it is with WinXP SP-2.
